Re: Does MakeMKV support CSS-MR discs?
I can't imagine a big studio would take the time to remaster something like this down to a smaller file size just save on the costs of single-layer discs vs 2 layer discs. Oh, believe me, they do it. Mill Creek is the worst offender by far. They keep getting the publishing rights to all these older...

Re: Does MakeMKV support CSS-MR discs?
Note the "genuine" on the right has been recompressed (transcoded) to h264 @ 2.5mbps, so the original would look even better.

Re: DVD Rip Speeds?
This may be relevant https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=139366#p139366 Basically the highest average read speed you can expect is about 12MB/sec which is obviously quite slow, so I would agree with dcoke22 that multiple drives is the way to go. I'd recommend Asus DRW-24D5MT (around $30 ...

Re: Does MakeMKV support CSS-MR discs?
Well I messaged the seller of this expensive copy on eBay and theirs is single layer too, so the image quality can't be better than what I've got (which is poor, indicating bootleg). Meanwhile there are reviews on Amazon saying the image quality is good... https://i.ibb.co/wQ98xf1/a.png (which is ir...

Re: Does MakeMKV support CSS-MR discs?
Oh no, maybe that's what I received. How did you determine they were bootlegs tho?

Re: Does MakeMKV support CSS-MR discs?
Is it possible the files online are someone's up-rez of the low quality version on DVD? Definitely not. I did some A-B screenshot comparisons on the same frames and there is a ton of macroblocking on my copy and none in the channel BT version. The BT version has been transcoded to h264 so even afte...

Re: MakeMKV Not Detecting Files On Some Discs
I guess when you select "play all" it's just reading from a playlist to manually splice the intro/outro around certain timecodes in the marathon vob at runtime. But it sounds like you're already aware of this, so the question is why would other software give you the option you want, given ...

Re: Does MakeMKV support CSS-MR discs?
I'm now just noticing the seller's listing page says "region all" but everywhere else it mentions it's only region 1. So I must have gotten a different version. Maybe someone exploited the fact it's hard to tell apart from a bootleg and just made a bootleg? Found another article where it s...

Re: Does MakeMKV support CSS-MR discs?
Well I got the discs and they are purple DVD-R's single layer too. Given how bad the print quality is on the cover art you'd be easily mistaken thinking these were indeed bootleg copies, but apparently Warner Bros really did do this silly "burn on demand" scheme back in 2012. Anyway all th...

Re: Does MakeMKV support CSS-MR discs?
Well I ordered it just now, we'll see what happens when it arrives.
I can see someone has successfully ripped it elsewhere so I'm betting it's possible.

Re: Does MakeMKV support CSS-MR discs?
But I somehow doubt, that they would have to sell DVD players which are able to play these things. If you read the videohelp thread it says Warner Bros hacked the DVD-R spec to make it only play on "play only" devices, and here is the back of the case https://i.ibb.co/Qn31d9T/s-l1600.png

Does MakeMKV support CSS-MR discs?
I was going to buy this DVD but it says in the description the discs are burned using Warner Bros "Media On Demand" (MOD) system which as far as I can tell is where the official distributor burns you a copy onto DVD-R. However I've just read this... these kind of "burn on demand"...

Re: New to MKV and Ripping
There are utilities that let you synchronize one drive with another. For example on Unix/Linux/macOS, rsync . Conceptually, rsync checks the files on the source to see if they exist (or were changed) on the destination. If the source has a new file, rsync copies it to the destination; if the file i...

Re: New to MKV and Ripping
The hard part about redundancy being a manual process is most people don't keep their backups up to date. It is better if redundancy is built in and/or an automatic process. Yep, so what I am doing currently is keeping a file like backup.txt and inside it I'll write something like... Last backup da...
